São Francisco de Sales

September 2010 · Lisbon, Portugal · Completed in December 2014

The design consists of the refurbishment and expansion of an existing building in one of Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods. The vernacular characteristics of the front facade were refurbished and clarified. Inside the design aims to create and free space on each floor, enhancing its size and scale, and creating a dialogue between the front and back facades, enabling light to enter through both directions.

This project was developed at Chp Arquitectos while acting as managing partner.
